The Man-Thing #2 1974 Comic (VF)

8.0 VERY FINE (VF): An excellent copy with outstanding eye
appeal. Sharp, bright and clean with supple pages. A comic book is this grade
has the appearance of having been carefully handled. A limited accumulation of
minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with
minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at
corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An
unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or
inked arrival dates may be present. No obvious soiling, staining or other
discoloration except for minor foxing. Spine is almost flat with no roll.
Possible minor color break is allowed. Staples may show some discoloration.
Very slight staple tears and a few almost very minor to minor stress lines may
be present. No rust migration. In rare cases, a comic was not stapled at the
bindery and therefore has a missing staple; this is not considered a defect.
Any staple can be replaced on books up to Fine, but only vintage staples can be
used on books from Very Fine to Near Mint. Mint books must have original
staples. Paper is (no worse than) tan to cream and supple. No hint of acidity
in the odor of the newsprint. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears
at the margin may be present.
